History WMG / NomadOfNowhere

The Ranch Hand states he got his mechanical hand from the Iron Boarder, implying the Iron Boarder is technologically advanced and highly mechanised place. In the same episode Skout says she use to fix oil pumps all the time back home, implying she came from a place where such things are common. So this is why I think she might come from the Iron Boarder.

[[WMG: The series takes place in the same universe as CourageTheCowardlyDog.]]

He never speaks because he’s a {{Heroic Mime}} (not unlike [[VideoGame/LegendOfZelda Link]]) and his chest glows whenever he completes a quest, signifying he’s earned an {{Extra Life}}.

2. Toth continues the pursuit, but with [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone much more regret]], which will ultimately lead to her HeelFaceTurn. Doubly so if Don Paragon reneges on the deal, adding an element of MistreatmentInducedBetrayal as Toth realizes all the {{NecessaryEvil}}s, all BadBoss moments from Paragon she had to put up with, all the burnt bridges, were for nothing.

** She died but... [[spoiler: she left behind an item in the desert that could help the Nomad and his allies defeat El Rey. An item she spent her lifetime trying to develop.

** [[spoiler: She is Skout reincarnated, and Skout may gain the fire magic]].

* Or possibly her name as a Governess would be [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Cinder]]

Nomad once found a human lover. They married privately and trstarted to live in the woods were both of them thought they could live in peace. But on one day a bounty hunter found Nomad and tried to kill him. Nomad won the fight but his wife was killed by the bounty hunter. He used his magic so his wife could be reincarnated. Since such a feat required large amounts of magic he lost his memories in the process.
* {{Jossed}}. [[spoiler: While someone who looked a lot like Skout know the Nomad, she was closer to a "sister" to him, since her father was his creator.]]

* {{Jossed}}. [[spoiler: The Nomad's reputation was around before Melinda took his memories as a result of general distrust and fear of magic.]]

* {{Jossed}}. [[spoiler: El Ray wants the Nomad in order to absorb him and his magic.]]

* [[spoiler: likely {{Jossed}} due to the fact that the Nomad is a scarecrow, and thus, nonbiological.]]

* {{Jossed}}. [[spoiler: El Ray (or his crown) seems to want to absorb every user of magic, and Don Paragon wants to be granted some of El Ray's magic and power as a reward for the Nomad's capture.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Jossed}} as of ''Fiesta''. It looks like Toph is going to be a new villain, taking Don Paragon's place as TheDragon to El Rey.]]

* {{Jossed}} [[spoiler: The magic is gone because El Ray absorbed all the magic users.]]

* Likely confirmed [[spoiler: given that he's an animated scarecrow.]]

* [[spoiler: Partly Confirmed. Although Toph's allegiance isn't with Paragon or the Dandy Lions, but rather only to herself and the Y'dalla.]]

* {{Jossed}}. [[spoiler: The posters are exaggerations. In truth he's just an animated scarecrow.]]

She created him either as a servant or a friend with magic before the two became closer and she taught him magic. However when El Ray began to devour magicians, she went into hiding with the Nomad.
* {{Jossed}}, but close. [[spoiler: Her father created him.]]

* Sorta {{Jossed}}. [[spoiler: He was created by her father to protect her. They seem to act closer to siblings than a parent-child dynamic.]]

In "Compass" the Nomad [[spoiler: and Skout]] survive a long fall down an empty well shaft in which they hit the rock multiple times and even slam down hard on the rock bottom. While this could be explained away by cartoon logic it is also possible this is a trait of being a magic user such as the Nomad [[spoiler: the fact that Skout is shown to look very similar to Melinda could mean she's related to her and thus have some hidden magical abilites which caused het to also be MadeOfIron.]]

[[WMG: The Nomad is [[spoiler: easily set on fire.]]]]

* [[spoiler: Confirmed.]]

* Probably {{Jossed}}. [[spoiler: El Ray (or his crown) seems to want to absorb every user of magic, and Don Paragon wants to be granted some of El Ray's magic and power as a reward for the Nomad's capture.]]

In Episode 6's flashback where the King slowly consumes more and more magic, at the same time the environments around the castle became more and more barren as species died out. Of course, this could be a purely symbolic representation of how the Kingdom itself fell into ruin and decay as the El Rey's crown compelled him to absorb more power, or it could be that the magical creatures were a key part in maintaining the ecosystem on a global scale. Either actively tending to it or passively. Compare the state of the world and where the Nomad lived prior to the series. The world is a barren wasteland where resources and water are in limited supply. Yet the bramble patch where the Nomad lived was filled with an abundant and thriving ecosystem the likes of which Skout have never seen before, and the Nomad is the last magical creature in Nowhere. Perhaps its coincidence, or perhaps the El Rey's avarice had farther reaching consequences then he realised or bothered to care about.

In episode 6, it's stated that a major reason Toth is working for Don Paragon is because her people are in need of aid, meaning that, at the very least, her family/tribe/clan/town/etc. is in desperate need of food/water/resources that the Don can provide, or at the very most, the entire Yondalan race is on the verge of extinction, and they need the aid of El Ray (or at the very least, Don Paragon if he ever becomes governor) to survive.

Unfortunately, the Yondala kinda sorta hate El Ray with a passion due to him making [[TheMagicGoesAway the magic go away]], and would rather FaceDeathWithDignity than accept aid from him or his lackeys. As such, when they find out who Toth's working for they're gonna ''royally'' [[WhatTheHellHero call her out on it]], and quite possibly even [[TheExile cast]] [[UnPerson her]] [[IHaveNoSon out]]. If that's the case, I can see this ending two ways:

One of the governors who was shown in the episode "El Rey" appeared to look like Melinda and also like her seemed to have fire powers. This has led me and others to theorise that Melinda ended up becoming a Governor. Perhaps she was defeated by El Rey and he made her get DrunkOnTheDarkSide and turned her into a governor. [[spoiler: The fact that Melinda was able to wipe memories shows that magic is capable of effecting the minds of others so perhaps she is BrainwashedAndCrazy.]]


Edit by OP: Also perhaps her governor name will Ember or something.
